Con l'inizio della nuova stagione di gare del 2012 (la terza), si aggiorna anche la build del simulatore iRacing: fra le tantissime novità, elencate in dettaglio a questo link, da segnalare in rilievo ci sono le nuove funzioni che permettono la creazione di veri e propri campionati personalizzati, come ci aveva spiegato giorni fa questo video.
The release notes for the 2012 Season 3 build are as follows:Hosted Sessions
- Gridding – In a multi-class event you can now select a third gridding option “One class per car – grid all cars in a class together”.
- Weight Penalty – You can now specify a weight penalty in kg for each car class independently. The value must be positive and currently the highest the penalty can be set is 250kg. The value can be set in either lbs or kg. If you click on the label “KG Penalty” it will switch to “LBS Penalty” and vice versa. Please note, it always stores the value as kg in the database, so there will be some loss of precision when switching back and forth between lbs and kg...
Leagues
- You can now create or join a League through a new built-in League section of the iRacing member site. Leagues provide a place for racers to get together with a group of like-minded iRacers and custom tailor their racing activities to what interests them, as well as a social hub for discussion and organization. Within each league, competition on many levels can occur: “Race Seasons” can be set up where League admins create a schedule of races with or without Championship standings, or more casual one-off races can be set up at any time for fun.
This area is accessible via the new “LEAGUES” link that is located in the primary navigation links area.
When you arrive in this area, you are first presented with a Directory of all of the Leagues in iRacing. Some leagues may be openly recruiting members (indicated by a “Join” button in their row) while others will be closed for private competition. To join a league, click on that Join button to send the league admin an application for membership. If your interest is rather to create a league, click on the large “CREATE A LEAGUE” button in the upper right corner of the screen. This will bring up a dialog where you enter your desired League name and save it (there is a charge for this). Upon league creation, a league management wizard will appear which allows immediate access to adding members, creating race seasons, or personalizing your new League section....
